Case Study: HyperShock achieves fast, cost-effective precision parts for a competition-ready BattleBot with Xometry

BattleBots Team HyperShock Prepares to Dominate the Battle Arena With Purpose-Built Xometry Parts

HyperShock, a BattleBots team that builds 250-pound combat robots, faced a tight three-month design/build/test window, high custom-part costs, and the need for durable, serviceable components funded by limited sponsorship money. To meet those constraints they partnered with Xometry, using Xometry’s CNC machining, urethane casting, and 3D printing services to source purpose-built parts quickly and affordably.

Xometry manufactured machined couplings, brackets and mounts, urethane cast bushings, and FDM/PolyJet/SLA 3D‑printed components via its instant quoting platform, delivering parts that matched CAD tolerances and arrived on schedule. The fast, cost-effective supply enabled HyperShock to stretch its budget, order low-volume/high-mix runs (including two extra spare sets), improve serviceability between rounds, and complete the build within the competition timeline—outcomes made possible by Xometry’s quality, speed, and pricing.
